Manchester United set to sack Erik Ten Hag

It’s been a long time coming, as Manchester United have decided to sack manager Erik ten Hag following the FA Cup final against Manchester City.

Ten Hag, who joined the club two years ago from Ajax, is set to depart after enduring a below par campaign.

United finished eighth in the Premier League, their lowest league finish since 1990, and their hopes of qualifying for Europe rest on them beating the Premier League winners at Wembley on Saturday.

According to Guardian, even achieving this Everest task would not save Ten Hag.

The decision to change manager will be the most significant move made by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his allies since Ineos took a minority stake and control of football operations.

United have identified Thomas Tuchel, Mauricio Pochettino, Kieran McKenna, Graham Potter and Thomas Frank as potential replacements.

Ten Hag won the Carabao Cup and finished third last season but he has been unable to build on his early work and many of his signings have not worked out.

United declined to comment over the matter.
